Lyrics
Shelter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So step inside
'Cause that night is cold, it don't deserve such a smile
It's not enough
For it to show up every once in a while
In the moonlight, I should
Kiss you at Samhain, throw it all down
Wouldn't that be cool?
To kill the guards, open the gates, for feelings unbound
But I've been keeping hope
I've got a fairytale in my heart, I can cope
I've been keeping hope
Bet they had you in mind when naming the rose
Only know 'bout how I won't be here later
Don't forget, 'bout how she had you feeling major
He tried to write down how he felt 'bout the girl
Kept running out of paper. He'll wait for her
He was feeling fucking awesome
Be a good man like you taught him
Don't get caught up in caution when love exists
So step inside
'Cause that night is cold, it don't deserve such a smile
We'll be alright
I could never lie about caring a lot
